"Sympathy" is an 1878 oil painting by British artist Briton Rivière (1840–1920), known for his work focusing on animals and their relationships with humans. The painting depicts a poignant scene of a young girl, presumably unwell, reclining on a bed, with a concerned and loyal dog resting its head beside her, offering comfort. Rivière's work is characterized by its emotive portrayal of the bond between the child and the animal, capturing a moment of quiet companionship and empathy.

The painting is a fine example of Victorian sentimentality and reflects the era's fascination with domestic scenes and the moral virtues of kindness and compassion. Rivière's attention to detail in the rendering of the textures of the dog's fur and the girl's bedding, as well as the use of lighting to highlight the expressions of the subjects, contributes to the overall tender atmosphere of the artwork.

"Sympathy" was well-received in its time and remains one of Rivière's most famous works, often cited as an exemplar of his artistic skill and his ability to evoke emotion through his portrayal of animals. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities as well as its thematic exploration of the human-animal bond, which continues to resonate with audiences today. It is a testament to Rivière's reputation as a leading animal painter of the late 19th century and his contribution to the genre of Victorian narrative painting.
